Avon commission explained
When you join Avon as an independent sales rep, you’re purchasing the products at a discounted price, and selling it to the customer at the price displayed in the brochure. The difference is what you keep as your earnings. This means you earn as soon as your customer pays for their order.
Avon Welcomes Program – Your First 3 Months with Avon
As a new Avon Representative, you get a chance to earn at a special rate. During your first three months, your discount is fixed at 20% as you build your customer base. This way Avon allows new Representatives to make more money while they get started.
While you’re earning your discount, you’re also able to take part in incentives. This could include cash bonuses, free products, etc.
These first few months are a great time to share brochures, post about Avon on social media, and let friends and family know that you are selling. The more you sell, the more you earn.
You’re also incentivized to grow your orders with free products in your first 3 months. The bigger your order size, the more freebies you get.
Month 4 – Avon Rewards
Once you have completed your first 3 months, you automatically move into the full Avon Rewards program, where your commission rate is based on your total sales in a quarter.
